----------------------------------------
Romans 6:1-14
1What shall we say, then?
Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase?
2By no means! We are those
who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?
3Or don’t you know that all
of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
4We were therefore buried
with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised
from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
5For if we have been united
with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a
resurrection like his.
6For we know that our old
self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away
with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin—
7because anyone who has died
has been set free from sin.
8Now if we died with Christ,
we believe that we will also live with him.
9For we know that since
Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has
mastery over him.
10The death he died, he died
to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives
to God.
11In the same way, count
yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
12Therefore do not let sin
reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.
13Do not offer any part of
yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to
God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of
yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness.
14For sin shall no longer be
your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.

flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.
14For the entire law is
fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
15If you bite and devour each
other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.
16So I say, walk by the
Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
17For the flesh desires what
is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is
contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are
not to do whatever you want.
18But if you are led by the
Spirit, you are not under the law.
19The acts of the flesh are
obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;
20idolatry and witchcraft;
hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions,
factions
21and envy;
drunkenness, orgies, and the like.
I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the

----------------------------------------
Romans 8:5-17
5Those who live according to
the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in
accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.
6The mind governed by the
flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.
7The mind governed by the
flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.
8Those who are in the realm
of the flesh cannot please God.
9 You, however, are not in
the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit
of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do
not belong to Christ.
10But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of
sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness.
11And if the Spirit of him
who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the
dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives
in you.
12Therefore, brothers and
sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to
it.
13For if you live according
to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds
of the body, you will live.
14For those who are led by
the Spirit of God are the children of God.
15The Spirit you received
does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit
you received brought about your adoption to sonship.
And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”
16The Spirit himself
testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.
17Now if we are children,
then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in
his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

James 3:1-12
1Not many of you should become
teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be
judged more strictly.
2We all stumble in many ways.
Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their
whole body in check.
3When we put bits into the mouths
of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal.
4Or take ships as an example.
Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by
a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go.
5Likewise, the tongue is a
small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest
is set on fire by a small spark.
6The tongue also is a fire, a
world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the
whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
7All kinds of animals, birds,
reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind,
8but no human being can tame
the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
9With the tongue we praise
our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in
God’s likeness.
10Out of the same mouth come
praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be.
11Can both
fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring?
12My brothers and sisters,
can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring
produce fresh water.

It

Corrupts the
whole body.

All kinds of
§
Animals.

And sea creatures.

are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind.

But no human
being can tame the tongue.

restless evil, full of deadly poison?

beings with the tongue.
197)
